antspotlight - ant spotlight screenhack

antspotlight [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay microseconds] [-fps]

The antspotlight code displays a single ant spotting out a screenshot.

antspotlight accepts the following options:

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-install

Install a private colormap for the window.

-visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

-fps

Display a running tally of how many frames per second are being rendered.

-delay microseconds

The delay specified by this option affects the speed of the animation (and the computation workload on the machine). You can use -delay 0 in conjunction with -fps, and this can be an interesting benchmark of your GL performance.

DISPLAY

to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT

to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
